The singer was only 24 - his voice sounds like a lifetime of experience. I think this was their first hit - nailed it.
No auto tune in those days; just pure talent.
Eric Burdon came up listening to lots and lots of blues and R&B, and it got into his creases and pores.
The singer is Eric Burdon. He looks like a teenager, but he's actually 23.
This was when music was music and nothing was fake
That voice...this crazy voice....
What a song, what a performance.
oh, and awesome reaction video too.
Great takes on the text.
The walking around is to represent the funeral procession in New Orleans. Also reason the guy was laughing was because the techs were rolling the keyboardist around to the front for final scene. It struck his funny bone. They only had enough money for only 1 take. Chas Chandler the bass player was Jimi Hendrix manager after discovering him in Harlem.
Love Eric Burdon & The Animals. They were part of the British Invasion along with The Beatles, Rolling Stones & others. People are always shocked that Eric has such a different unique deeper voice. The Animals had a lot of great hits in the 60's such as "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place", "Baby Let Me Take You Home", "I'm Crying", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "Bring It On Home to Me", "It's My Life", "Don't Bring Me Down", "See See Rider", "Monterey", "Sky Pilot" etc. Eric later joined the funk rock band "War" & they had a few hits "Spill the Wine" & "Tobacco Road".
I hink the red haired bass player managed Jimi Hendrix for a while. Can't remember where I heard or read that though.
Lotta young ppl don't think they will like older songs.... great music back then and great music is always great music!
From all the reaction videos it seems to me the youth of today are totally unaware of the existence of "classic" pop & rock music from the 1950s to the 1980s.
@@flitsertheo I agree but I also see once they hear some great music.. they like it .. that's where all the young Elvis fans come from... lotta new ones this year alone due to the movie and their interest in looking at more of him... but not just him!
@@vintagehouliganc8997 I had to "discover" new music also but I did it already in my early teens. And I knew it existed, only finding it was the problem, without internet or computers.
@@flitsertheo they don't know what they are missing!
@@flitsertheo They probably are. Why would they know this as youths? I don't know how old you are, but I'm 40. I was 21 by the time I even heard of Creedence. 22 by the time I first heard Roy Orbison! Can't hold their age against them. They haven't had time to explore 50 years of great music yet. But they are taking their time now. Great music is great music regardless of anyone's age and background.
Baby Boomer here! Eric is now in his 80's! We had the BEST music! 1960-1970! 🤗🥰🤗🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇲💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊
Edgar Winter, White Teash & Rick Derringer 1971… Live NY & LA!!! WORD…
I’m so blessed to have grown up with these guys omg music now is just not the same 😢
Eric Burdon is a gift from the universe 💚
People always say how they can’t believe that voice out of that face. This video also hides that Eric is like 5’4. Like Angus Young slight. I also LOVE that you actually got to the words, sometimes people get so caught up on his voice. This is a great tragic song.
I have seen a lot of reaction channels in the last 4 yrs and you are different and extremely on point.... don't change anything, you got it!
Yeah, and it’s not just him having no shirt on.
Ditto
Hello from Cody Wyoming 😊you're awesome and becoming my favorite reactor
Yeah, this guy seems great. And if I had a body like that I'd never wear a shirt either...
He is the best. I go to him first and I am 76 so a lot of his reactions are the songs of my youth.
I love these types of reactions, especially about old stuff that still kills it and shows how talented they are.
Eric Burden. A man ahead of his time.
This song has origins going back to the 1600's. Its also been know as Rising Sun Blues. There are a few versions. Sometimes it is sung by a woman in reference to being trapped into prostitution, other times as a man with gambling or alcohol issues.
That keyboard is an organ. Excellent reaction.
Safest description is to just call it a key board.
@@jimbatten1927 It's a piano that identifies as an organ 🙂
It's probably one of the first and earliest versions of the Electronic Keyboard.
It's a VOX Continental, popular with many 1960s combos. Here's a quick read from Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vox_Continental
Alan Price's pulsating organ part (played on a Vox Continental) completes the sound. Burdon later said, "We were looking for a song that would grab people's attention". As recorded, "The House of the Rising Sun" ran four and a half minutes, regarded as far too long for a pop single at the time.
The Animals did a haunting rendition of Rising Sun. Another 60s hit worth checking is "Time of the Season" by the Zombies!
Yes 🙌 Time of the Season is one of my all time faves!
Zager and Evans in the Year 2525
The keyboard is so much of what makes this song.
The only thing a gambler needs, is a suitcase and a trunk
The only time that hes satisfied, is when hes on a drunk
You have good taste. The instrument you like is an electric organ. The specific model used here is a Vox Continental but that organ was trying to replicate the sound of a Hammond B3 organ in a more portable size. So the actual sound you’re really responding to is of a Hammond organ. This is the type of organ that has been commonly used in churches to accompany choirs. And that led to it being used often in gospel, jazz, blues, etc.
This organist’s name is Alan Price btw. Some other great organists include: Reese Wynans (Double Trouble), Ray Manzarek (The Doors), Gregg Allman (Allman Brothers Band), Jimmy Smith, Cory Henry, Lonnie Smith, Jimmy McGriff, & Booker T Jones (Booker T & The MGs). ✌️
Triple that for Ray Manzarek of The Doors!!!..Ray also played bass using the foot pedals as The Doors did not have a bass player.
This is the answer I've been looking for 👍
These organs were also known to overheat and catch fire when these young artists played the everliving sh*t out of them! I bet that solo was cut short cause the instrument literally couldn't take any more.
You're the FIRST reaction video of this song to really GET the lyrics. Well done!
A monster hit when it came out, back in the day. I think I was 8 years old at the time.
The song is a cover, not an original. And the lead singer, Eric Burdon, is a legend.
Gotta give props to the drummer keeping that sick beat. Blues/jazz style. Ringo did that also.
This is actually a traditional folk song that's been around for at least a century probably More and nobody actually knows who wrote it but the lyrics to this version was an alteration of the lyrics on Bob Dylan's version.
Yes, some of the earlier traditional versions I’ve heard use a female POV, which makes more sense if you’re thinking of a worker rather than a consumer, gone wrong at the House.
Also sung by lead belly i think in the 1940s it was just called new orleans yet he stole the song from somewhere else
This is one of the greatest songs
Its a keyboard and what amazes me the most is how calm they all are and I heard they did this in one take< he sings with no pressure at all
No auto tuned pure voices
Glad you like one of our best from the U.K..All the best🇬🇧🇺🇸👍
Eric Burdon is still singing this song in his 70's
Ram Jam "Black Betty" is good and Kenny Roger's "Coward of the County" is another good one
Listened to both of those on my channel, great songs for sure👌🏽
@@shon1303 Try Tim McGraws "Don't take the Girl" if you haven't heard it yet. LOL
This song is sooo old that nobody owns the lyrics to it, so it doesn't cost a penny to "cover" it. This version by The Animals is just fabulous, lead singer Eric Burdon SMASHES IT. For me, there will never be a better version than this. ❤🎙🎶🎼👌
Many people don't know that they shot this video in ONE TAKE! Can't find talent like that anymore.❤ Truth
Glad to see you young folks enjoying this 60's stuff. Those of us that grew up with it were very lucky. Congrats and thanks.
Just so you know, that instrument is a Vox Continental organ. You hear it on songs by The Animals, The Dave Clark Five, and The Doors (the whole first Doors album had Ray playing the Vox Continental). I own 3 of 'em (they're super-rare).
I'm going to be 32 years old on Monday, and I've been listening to this song since I was a child, my father's influence, thank you very much dad for giving me great musical references
Burdon first heard that old song sung by an old guy in the North of England, and came up with this version when they were opening for Chuck Berry. They needed something big.
I first heard this song in Viet Nam on armed forces radio.
Golden oldie
Grew up with Eric Burdon & The Animals!! 1964, when NO AUTO TUNE/ONE TAKE!!
The marching together is reminiscent of a New Orleans funeral march. If you watch closely you'll notice the organ player laughing at the end because when he was off screen he had to move the organ up and play at the same time. He barely pulled it off and it made him laugh.
Historical note: Chaz Chandler from The Animals discovered James Marshall Hendricks, took him to England and made him Jimi Hendrix ;)
The bass player is smiling, and well deserved. He discovered Jimi Hendrix and put him on. 😂😂😂
My late father (who passed away years ago) was a great guitarist and singer. He would always play this one for me. ☺
My daddy use to play this on his guitar when i was little 🙌❤️✔️🌹💜
Ever been to Church? Hear the Organ? Hes playing an electric organ.. Love your reactions... Ole man.
I love watching your reaction to a song they really affects you. It’s great! This songs so haunting.
That song is iconic in music.
Next: “We Got To Get Out of this Place”. Thanks for a great reaction.
I hope you will keep checking out music from the 60's because there is SO MUCH good music from that decade. Let me know if you would like some suggestions.
The Animals Bass player was the Manager for Jimi Hendrix .
They’re all from NE England. Brilliant reaction
I grew up and heard this song here n there in the 70’s and 80’s. Because I’m a latchkey kid I truly had to learn things on my own. In the early 90’s, with only radio, I found this song again. Awesome. Simply beautiful and incredible, this song.
The lead singer also sang a great song with the group called War - "Spill the Wine". It has a great groove and the lyrics are really fun ("Imagine me - an overfed, long haired leaping gnome- in a Hollywood movie. But there I was!" Othe great songs from War : Cisco Kid, Low Rider, Why Can't We Be Friends. There is so much great music from the 70's, 80's and 90's for you to discover my friend!!! Enjoy the journey!
This song by The Animals has been popular for years. Great song
Though Eric Burdon sounds like he hails from a Louisiana Cajun background but he's English. This group had soooo much talent.😊❤
the keyboard in th song is The Vox Continental is a transistorised combo organ that was manufactured between 1962 and 1971 by the British musical equipment manufacturer Vox. It was designed for touring musicians and as an alternative to the heavy Hammond organ.
That Voice...love this and Tobacco Road, We got to get out of this place, Don't let me be misunderstood, just love Eric Burton & The Animals, & War, Spill the wine, takes me waaayy back!
From the 50's to the 90's is definitely some of the best music ever made! I know a song that's really old but so so good. It's called 16 tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford.
See Grandma & Grandpa did have some cool music.
It apparently only took 15 minutes for 23 year old Eric Burdon to record his vocals for this song (insane!). HOTRS is an American folk song that, like many of the genre, has unknown origins. It was a favorite of Burdon's and one he'd been singing since the age of 16. The Animal's version is the most well known. The keyboard is a "Vox Continental" made by the Jennings Musical Instrument Factory in Dartmouth, Kent UK.
Dartford. Dartmouth's in Devon.
Actually it only took him 4 and a half minutes to record it. They did a set up and tech run-through and then did one take. It boggles the mind that this is that 4 and a half minutes.
That is my uncle Eric 🖤🤍🖤🤍
He was also the Eggman that Lennon sang about 🤫
the keyboard has a 'Leslie ' speaker, it actually spins around to give it that wobbly sound like a Hammond organ, you can also run a guitar through it
The organ was a Hammond organ, used in a whole crap ton of great songs from that time
Vox Continental, not Hammond.
Great song and great band! They have other fantastic songs you'd enjoy already documented in other comments.
I love your reactions..good job
Awesome song!! There's an interesting thing about wisdom. When broken down to its true meaning, it is the ability to learn from the mistakes of others, not just yours. I think that this is the realization between being educated and being wise. Wisdom, Smart, and Educated are very different animals (pun intended). Peace, Love!!
I think it was like midnight and I was flipping through the TV and The Lawrence Welk Show came on, the animals were playing The House of the Rising Sun. I couldn't believe what I was watching. 👏👏👏😎
Another version of this song that's fun is a cover here on RUclips named "House Of The Rising Sun 1270 A.D (Cover in Old French 800-1400 A.D) Bardcore/Medieval style". Quite thematically appropriate for a song that's been rattling around for centuries.
They're from Newcastle UK near me. The bassist Chas Chandler discovered Jimi Hendrix
Same here (Wallsend). My dad knew Eric when they were young.
Wasn’t planning on subscribing but you’re so funny I have to!!
My guess is that the "they did this in one take" story means that the actual music was recorded in the studio in one take. THEN they came to another studio and did the lip-synching walk about. NOTE: there are no cords plugged into the guitars or the keyboard/organ from a wall outlet! They wouldn't have been able to tour the little stage with those gates/pillars; the cords would have gotten all tied up. Maybe that smiling guitarist was grinning about the whole set-up, wheeled organ and all?
This phenomenal song goes back to the early 1900s OR POSSIBLY EARLIER. So many people covered this song, however, this version was the very most popular. In the 1960s, this was the most played song in the pool hall I frequented. In fact, the Animals had the most played songs in Wally's pool hall. Try some of their other hits like WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE, WHEN I WAS YOUNG, and DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD. The Animals really resonated with the rebel crowd.
That little instrument is called an electric organ! 😂
One of my fave reactors I’ve recently discovered- you are awesome!
Totally enjoyed your reaction to this video. I was just a baby when this came out but I've heard it over the years and it has a haunting vibe to it. Some songs you should check out are: Grand Funk Railroad "Inside looking out" George Thorogood "Bad to the Bone" and Alice in Chains "Man in the Box" - There are so many out there for you to enjoy. Thanks for a great reaction.
Interesting fact: Inside Looking Out was an Animals original recorded in 1965/6. Quite ahead of its time (probably too ahead for it to be a big hit for them.) It was co-written by Eric Burdon (lead singer here) and the bass guitarist Chas Chandler.
I copy/pasted this interesting story behind the song from a website with the lyrics of the song:
The song is a traditional folk song. The Animals recorded the most successful commercial version. It became their signature song, a number one in UK, United States and France charts and often described as the "first folk rock hit".
The "rising sun" has been a symbol for brothels in British and American ballads. In the traditional folk version of the song, the main character is either a prostitute or a prisoner. The Animals changed it to a gambler to make their version more radio-friendly.
It is not known whether or not the house described in the lyrics was an actual or a fictitious place. There is a B&B in New Orleans called the House of the Rising Sun, decorated in brothel style. The owners are fans of the song, but there is no connection with the original place.
🇨🇦 Most Rappers and so-called artists these days could not even name that instrument, let alone play one !
First time checking out your channel and your awesome and what a great song that you checked out. A few years ago I went and saw Eric Burton he is the lead singer and he was 75 at the time and he still has his voice. So I'm off to check some of your other videos.
Would like to see you react to "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum which came out in 1967. There is a video from that year. But the more impressive video was in 2006 with the same singer from 50 years earlier.
I've tried a few other critics out and I say you still crack me up. So I came back.
Loved the video ❤❤❤❤❤
Some call it an organ, some call it an electric piano./keyboard. Whatever, lovely instrument.
Love this song!!! Great reaction!
¡Saludos, desde Argentina!
This song is centurys old .The Rising Sun' is a Brothel, it's originally about a young girl, the lyrics have been changed many times, to suite the era .
Loved this!!
Back in the day we had some great songs ❤
Those guys were from England. And that instrument is and Electric Organ. And his singing about spending all his time in a Horror House.
Chas Chandler playing bass 'discovered' Jimi Hendrix and became his manager in England.
Eric was a good friend of Jimi Hendrix.
Great reaction! Eric Burden and The Animals were iconic. So many timeless songs. Dude? You sittin' on the toilet?
You dropped another banger bruh. You're one of my favorite reactors right now. Peace from Downey Ca.
I'm a subscriber man. I've seen probably about 4 or 5 of your uploads now 😊
You should do their version of Bring it on Home to Me and Sam Cooke's back to back. They're both iconic, but quite different.
That boy went all keyboard crazy! Much love brother ❤
very well filmed, isn't it? and at a time when TV cameras looked like mobile wardrobes.
I've heard this was on film, not TV camera.
Alan Price was playing a Hammond organ - everyone had one back then, even our local bands. Well, they LOOKED like Hammond organs - they might have been copies!
One more song I love and one
e more great vídeo of a reaction
Awww, the good ole days
It's an electric organ.
